Visiting Fairbanks and wife pointed out this comic shop, love brick & mortar LCS and in Alaska,…read morescore !!! Glad we stopped, nice selection of comics and easy to look as it is organized pretty well. The store also has gaming supplies and what looked like a gaming room. Each section seems to have its own Rep (subject matter expert), the young lady I spoke to in the comic section was super friendly and knowledgeable. She helped me find (2) books that I have been looking for and at a reasonable price. Came to Alaska and was able to end a long hunt successfully.

So I absolutely love the Comics, miniatures, and video game section of this store. It is hands down…read moreone of my favorite places to walk around for hours. I go three times a week at minimum for minis and to ask about new board games and video games. Spent hundreds if not thousands from them on just my table top gaming supplies. All of the employees up front are amazing people and really are super helpful. However, the issue is the magic the gathering section in the back. I've been playing magic since the mid 90s and even took in the role of 2nd level judge for a few years in North Carolina. I admit I don't play that much anymore and have all but sold most of my collection. That being said i go in and browse the singles and routinely pick up a card or two my son (15 and just getting started playing) wants for his commander deck. Buying magic cards should be a fun an exciting experience. Opening packs, getting a card you want, or just browsing the stores inventory to see the expensive cards. All this leads me to the employee that is back there most of the time speaking down to magic players. I've heard him downplay and practically degrade multiple people over what they are talking about or a question they ask him. I've seen players looking at a 2-300 dollar card and ask him a question about it where he gives them that elitist attitude he has and that customer walks. It's terrible to see and the whole vibe back there is completely different than the rest of the store. As a store that caters to the local magic crowd you should be trying to get repeat customers, especially when its too easy to just buy online. I fully support my local gaming store, as I been waiting patiently on them to get some Heroquest and hopefully Heroscape game systems in the future, and have been a solid customer for the past five years. I unfortunately can't see myself going to the magic counter anymore to listen to an employee bad mouth customers like that. I will be taking my business for magic related items to another local gaming store and I'll be recommending other players to go there as well. Its a smaller store (for now atleast) but they are upgrading and most of the community i play commander with, 10-15 other players, have all agreed that we won't be going to the comic shop for magic cards anymore.
